Sorry, but I happen to believe that the person/company that OWNS the property should have the final say in what is and isn’t allowed. Don’t agree with the rules of the owner of the property? go buy your own place.
But the lease she signed stipulated that a correctly flown American flag was permitted.
Actually, she has a type of ownership. It’s called a leasehold. The landlord has the title. The bank probably has a lien and the government can tax it. So who owns it?
I am on the fence with this. I understand your point.
However, how offensive is an American flag?
There must be common sense somewhere.
Michael Newdow owns the place?
Reasonable use...is I think included in the price of a rental.
What that might constitute would have at one time been a matter of what we used to call “common sense”.
Pretty simple-minded way of looking at things, I’d say. One size fits all usually doesn’t fit any.
And the property owner’s property is within the US
If she doesn’t like that she can go to Costa Rica and tell people on her property not to fly the US flag.
Till then, if she enjoys the benefits of living here she can realize her owned property is inside of a bigger entity
And so can you
Amen to that. That’s why my brother and in-law bought their own place and escaped’ a Gestapo-style condo complex.
Seems she had a bunch of hanging junk and the flag was NOT hung properly.
I agree. Our constitutonal freedoms only protect us from federal laws, and to a lesser extent state and local laws.
I'm glad that this situation turned out well for the vet. But potential problems with displaying the flag should be a question that prospective renters ask a landlord before actually renting from that landlord imo.
She had the flag hung exactly as the leased specified.
If you are offended by the flag maybe it is you that should leave the country. Do you think that a land owner can make his tenants use drugs also? Do you think that the government should not fly flags on government property? I am 100% disabled and have 2 Purple Hearts, Two Army Commendation medals with V device and 5 unit citations along with other decorations. I will fly my flag which is my right even if it is on your property or Government property or even the moon if I got there because I have earned the right!!!!!!!!!!!!
